Cabinet Conversation: Echoes from the Steps
Saturday, September 27, 2025
History often highlights a few names, but lasting change in American democracy is powered by many voices. Explore some of the unsung heroes of the civil rights movement, the challenges of preserving their stories, and the enduring inspiration of the “I Have a Dream” speech at the Lincoln Memorial. Join us for this enlightened conversation with Dr. Dayo F. Gore, associate professor of Black Studies at Georgetown University, playwright Chess Jacobs and director Aaron Posner from the Ford’s Theatre World Premiere production of The American Five.
Conversations on Creativity, History and Leadership
Join us live as we stream interviews with scholars, artists and other thought leaders as they think aloud about the future of the arts, civics and history. With each conversation, we connect the lessons of the Civil War, Lincoln’s presidency, theatre, arts and education to our contemporary life.
